Description
The Spa Chalet is a building dating from around 1860, likely constructed at the same time as Paxton's new Spa building of 1858. The ground floor features brick red and grey banding, while the first floor is weather boarded. It has a low-pitched hipped slate roof with deeply overhanging chalet eaves that include fretted boards. The building has a fretted splat balcony supported by shaped carved paired brackets. There are two windows on the north and east sides, which have a marginal and diamond glazing pattern set in flush architrave frames. Access to the first floor is via steps leading to a door on the west side. On the south side, there is an extension that encloses a former balcony. The room that opens onto this extension has turned supports for pelmet boxes, which are adorned with cresting and elaborately carved spandrels. Between the windows, there are castellated shelves, contributing to the building's picturesque appearance.
